    Me, neither, if I hadn't known the daughter of the president of the company, when I was in college.

    Still working on my question, guys. Stay tuned.

    Well, somebody's got to educate you on the important stuff.

    I learned more about Farmall Tractors this summer than I ever needed to know. A, B, C, H, F, M, MD, F Series, Super Series. I even start looking in Farm fields for the Damn things.

    That's gonna be useful knowledge when this recession becomes a depression and we're all forced back to subsistence farming again. Just wait. You'll thank me.

    Question time.

    Stop me if you've heard this one before. That is, it seems like I've talked about this around here already, but a quick forum search didn't turn up anything.

    Seeing as how it's NFL playoffs time, here's a question about my brush with NFL greatness. Back in the early 1970s, there was an NFL player who was dating a woman who lived up the street from us. When he got tired of hanging out with her, he'd come down and play ball with me and my brothers in our back yard. Who was he?

    Starting hints: he played for 2 different teams; he played defense; he went to a Super Bowl.

    Nah. I grew up on them, though. The M, H, and Super C.
  • gmill880gmill880 Posts: 5,947
    Yea we had several as well .... my dad about 5 years back restored one of the little ones with the off set seat , I dont remember what model that was....he still has it put up in a building.....looks great....still uses it in his 3 gardens ( he's 76 and slowing down a litttle but loves that tractor and his gardens)
  • gmill880gmill880 Posts: 5,947
    maybe you remember what model that is
  • urbinourbino Posts: 4,517
    The Cub, maybe? I know the ones I used, but that's about as far as my knowledge goes.

    Tim Foley
  • phobicsquirrelphobicsquirrel Posts: 7,347 ✭✭✭
    That "one" guy!
  • Did he murder his wife later in life?
  • madurofanmadurofan Posts: 6,219 ✭✭✭
    No no that was the one-armed guy, not that "one" guy.
  • phobicsquirrelphobicsquirrel Posts: 7,347 ✭✭✭
    lol =)

    No, no. He didn't play defense. Well, not until after he retired, anyway.

    Not Foley, maddy.
  • madurofanmadurofan Posts: 6,219 ✭✭✭
    Heh coulda swore you mentioned Foley some other time.
  • urbinourbino Posts: 4,517
    Time for another hint?

    Okay. His rookie year, he was an All-Star in the AFL. Later, he was an NFL All-Pro 4 times.
  • LukoLuko Posts: 2,003 ✭✭
    I just know this answer isn't going to be right (I'm still convinced you were chillin with Jake Scott as a kid), I'm gonna say Willie Brown.
  • madurofanmadurofan Posts: 6,219 ✭✭✭
    You were playing ball with William Thomas (Bill) Stanfill.
  • phobicsquirrelphobicsquirrel Posts: 7,347 ✭✭✭
    that was the guy I was talking about...
  • madurofanmadurofan Posts: 6,219 ✭✭✭
    Uh huh ...
  • urbinourbino Posts: 4,517
    Nope. Sorry, losers. Hint #3: at one time, he held the NFL record for most interceptions by a linebacker.
  • LukoLuko Posts: 2,003 ✭✭
    Don Shinnick?
  • urbinourbino Posts: 4,517
    Oops. You get that guess back, Luko. My hint wasn't quite clear.

    That should say "most interceptions in a season by a linebacker."

    Quite kind of you sir...I'm past my knowledge base. Now it's just google and me.
